Thanksgiving is a very important time of year. Not only is it a holiday to celebrate with friends and family, appreciating those around you and giving thanks, and a time to enjoy turkey, tryptophan, and football, but it is also the un-official kick off to winter. Yes, many resorts in snowy areas out West and snowgun-toting areas out East have been open for a few weeks, but Thanksgiving marks the time when pretty much all resorts, big and small, start their season.
In the spirit of excitement for winter and the enjoyment of Thanksgiving, a bunch of our Windells staffers told us their favorite things about the holiday. Check out below to see who likes stuffing and who likes mashed potatoes, and the things that members of the Windells family are thankful for this year.
At camp, we’re thankful for a lot of things, but at the top of our list is our crew of hardworking, smiling, shredding, awesome employees. Thanks for all of the hard work you guys do! Happy Thanksgiving!

Favorite thing about Thanksgiving: Giving stretchy jeans a run for their money while I enjoy a food coma.
Most thankful for: All the friends and family I got to see this year thanks to my Subaru and America’s great highways.
Favorite food: My Grandma as been making her Italian style stuffing for at least as long as I have been around. The combination of that all mixed up with a mean serving of fresh cranberries is delicious and nutritious (if not. whatever, it’s Thanksgiving. Not nutritious is acceptable).
Favorite thing about thanksgiving: Eating so much food so that the only realistic option available for me to do is find a nice pillow and some floor space to watch football with the men of the family, while the women are too busy to bother us because they are going through all the coupons for Christmas shopping.
What are you thankful for this year: I am thankful for my health and having the privilege to be able to ride my snowboard all months of the year. I am also thankful that my whole family can travel home for the holidays and enjoy each other’s company.
Favorite Thanksgiving food: Definitely stuffing, homemade though, none of that boxed garbage. Close in second is pumpkin pie.
Favorite thing about Thanksgiving: Even if I start skiing earlier, I’ve always thought of Thanksgiving as the official start to the season. Growing up in the Midwest, Thanksgiving always meant opening day.
What are you Thankful for this year: Too much for me to say; I’ve been really blessed in life. I get to do the thing I enjoy most, with the best people, in the most beautiful places. I love my family and friends; I’m thankful for them most of all.

Favorite thing about Thanksgiving: gathering with friends n family
Thankful for: my family
Favorite Thanksgiving food:
Mashed potatoes are always a must with my family… stack up a pile of them, pretend it is a pillow line and slash down it with one of the string beans out of the casserole… and if that doesn’t work I am a huge fan of the gravy and stuffing. My mom is a killer cook and that stuff is always great.
Favorite thing about Thanksgiving:
I would say the turkey-bowl. My extended family all meets up early in the morning (younger cousins, parents, grandparents), we get together with a whole other family and we all go out to play soccer. Its a lot more laid back than football and we all have a lot of fun doing it.
What Am I thankful for this year:
Something I am always thankful for, are my family and friends. My parents and younger brother are supportive of everything I do and its always great to have that kind of backing. My friends are great as well; amazing to ride with, chill with and talk with… plus without them I would not be able to couch surf for a couple weeks this winter in SLC… thanks guys.
